Query Help using SQL Server

Need help with a query.
I need to get a date from table1 where the symbol is equal to OQY7 but
the symbol in table table2 is OQY07.
How do I get it to look for the first three characters plus the fifth
character by skipping the fourth character?

Use the substring() function. Or left() and right(). All of them are
described in Books Online. I recommend you to look at all string functions,
because you don't know which one you may need next.
